- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups raspberries
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream
- Divide dough into 2 pieces (1 piece should be slightly smaller than the other).
- Chill larger dough piece, wrapped in plastic wrap.
- On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin roll out smaller piece of dough into a 10-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Transfer round to a large baking sheet and chill, covered.
- Roll out remaining dough into an 11-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick) and stack it on top of first round.
- Chill pastry rounds, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Cut enough rhubarb crosswise into 1/2-inch slices to measure 4 cups.
- In a 3-quart kettle stir together 3 cups rhubarb, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted, about 6 minutes.
- In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and lemon juice.
- Add cornstarch mixture to rhubarb mixture and boil, stirring constantly, until rhubarb is thickened, about 5 minutes, and transfer mixture to a bowl.
- Cool mixture to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Fold raspberries and remaining cup rhubarb into mixture until just combined.
- Chill rhubarb filling, covered, at least 30 minutes, or until cold.
- Preheat oven to 425F.

- Spoon rhubarb filling into shell, smoothing top, and brush edge of crust with egg wash. Drape remaining pastry round over filling and trim, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
- Crimp edge decoratively.
- With a sharp small knife score a decorative pattern on crust and brush crust evenly with some egg wash. Sprinkle crust with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
